totally agree, the event notice never said RANDOM puzzle piece...otherwise why would people want to pay all that money and NOT get the ebb/ecv....have seen multiple people who have bought THOUSANDS of olives and still dont have ONE completed puzzle....sure does smell like a scam doesn't it?

seriously?  you get pieces from spending olives on prem items.


so its not like your are having to buy olives to get pieces, they are an added bonus to those who normally spend olives on prem items.

a the end of the day you spent the olives and got all the prem items you bought with the olives.

what im sayin is that the incentive that the puzzle to spend money and olives isent that good because the odds seem really bad i mean gettin all them peices and not 1 complete picture. I feel that the so called "bonus" is a rip off even if u spent a million dollors and dont complete a puzzle u will get nothing they should have had a scale system instead of this puzzle so that u get some kind of bonus for spendin money during the event

I agree, this should never have been RANDOM...it is a ripoff

or we should have some way of trading in the "extra" pieces

Definitely a poorly thought out event. 1000 olives is $50. With that there seems to be a good chance that you only get a couple of puzzle pieces. $50 is already a steep price to pay for a ship!! If I'm spending that much on one it had better have guided missles on it!!

if only you had read the details before deciding to spend money for the event......

but yes, it would be better if they added something like "combine 3 random pieces to get 1 specific piece of the puzzle"

again, you should read and understand the event first.  It is obviously not one for players to be given a free ship for spending money.  Many other games have similar events for players to have a CHANCE of receiving a gift. 

If you wish to pay money to gamble and specific pieces, that is up to you.

Probability was never my strong suit, but if I had to guess the probability of getting an EBB out of 900 olives worth of pieces, my guess would be 1/(9!).

In other words, in the BEST CASE SCENARIO, your odds of getting an EBB from 900 olives is 1 in 362880.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Wait ...... You mean I could spend the $50 and get the very same piece of puzzle 9 times?




SDE........ What,    you get this game from the local carnival.

tho im with ya on this aust, most ppl wouldnt have bought 1000s of olives if they knew they wouldnt get coupons for it, obviously a little trickery was at hand here for SDE to make money

I agree this is the worst xmas event ever, not very thought thru, I think this event comidates SDE more then the player base

so merry xmas SDE hope you enjoy you loads of cash
